    I was playing at Casino Niagara last night, and one of the pit bosses came to me to ask me to remove my headphones.

    When I asked him what the justification was, he just simply responded with "it's a government rule".

    Can anybody confirm this?

    Its no goverment rule, I think its just up to the casino.

    Where I play you have to have one ear open and can't have the Ipod or Walkman on the table.

    Yes, it is actually a government rule. The Ontario Gaming commission ruled that head phones could not be used. It's not a casino's choice in Ontario.

    Not all casinos. In Vancouver, the Great Canadian Casinos (river rock and boulevard) allow headphones while the Gateway (starlight and cascades) do not. I'm not sure where Edgewater falls, if they're independent or what, but I think you're allowed headphones there.
